Is there a way to lengthen the sustain using Electric Sunburst in Kontakt?
I am playing a song where I need the guitar to last a couple of bars with some vibrato. But the sound dies away very quickly.
Is there some setting that I can change?

Sustain pedal, you could automate it with CC via your DAW.

Another low tech option would be add a nice reverb to extend the sound a bit.

I just tried the Sustain, but that doesn't make it last any longer than just holding the key down (or drawing the note in MIDI)

If you have the full version of Kontakt you could hack something together with the actual samples if they're too short. Looping etc.

I never found a solution for the sustain.

Great point Ah_Dziz, yeah go right into the sample and adjust the sustain portion.

OK, bit over my experience level

Where in Electric Sunburst do I access the samples to adjust them?

If that's an NI instrument it's probably locked. But those you can edit usually have a wrench icon in the top (left?) corner.
